Bram Stoker's Dracula (DVD 1999)

The grandaddy of all Vamp films, Oldman does the Count proud in this film, Reeves' accent is a little dodgy but all told a fab retelling of the classic story

Love this film. Sexy, gothic with a brilliant lead from Gary Oldman. Yes there are dodgy accents from Winona & Keanu but really good bloody film!!

saw this film late at night on tv as was hooked - i love vampire films and this is one of my favs already

I bought this DVD because over the past few years I have watched it time and time again and it is usually on very late. It is a lovely story and the first couple of times I found it scary in parts, it takes a lot to scare me! The whole film is so well put together with just the right amount of everything - the love story, the scariness, fantasy and of course the sadness at the end.

I have seen this film that many times, i have lost count! Im still not fed up with it! The intensity that the two main actors share is what keeps me coming back for more! Gary Oldman is fanstatic as the very intense and sexy Dracula,
Winona Ryder is excellent as the beutiful and innocent Mina, and of course the very handsome Keanu Reeves as Mina's love Johnathon Harker. Not forgetting Anthony Hopkins as the eccentric, Doctor Van Helsing!
If you love vampire films you must see this one!

thought this was an excellent film one that can be watched again and again saw it on sky and bought it straight away A************

Bram Stoker's Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola is a wonderful film. It is filled with beautiful sets, exquisite costumes, excellent make-up effects and brilliantly melodramatic performances.

Gary Oldman stars as the Count, a man who sold his soul to Satan after his wife, Elisabeta, killed herself on receiving false news of his death in battle. He is ultimately made immortal by his Master and years later, meets Jonathan Harker, a younger lawyer who has come to negotiate his buying land in England. It is at this moment that Dracula sees a photograph of Jonathan's betrothed, Mina, who bears a striking resemblance to his own love, Elisabeta. He consequently imprisons Harker and travels to England to wreak havoc and to find the woman he believes to be the reincarnation of his lost wife.

The film remains very faithful to the novel throughout which is refreshing, given the usual Hollywood tendency to "re-imagine" or change the source completely. The performances on the whole are excellent - dodgy accents and Keanu Reeves aside - and are believable in the horrific context of the story, which shocks and seduces in equal measure. Anthony Hopkins' crazed turn as Professor Van Helsing is inspired and Gary Oldman attacks the role of Dracula with great relish and is tremendous in the role.

The film was awarded three Oscars - for Best Costume Design, Best Effects and Best Make-up - and various other accolades, and is easily one of the best films of the 1990s. This film is a must see for any Dracula/vampire fan, any fan of Francis Ford Coppola or anyone who loves a good film.

If you like vampire films this is a must see! There are strong performances from all the stars especially Gary oldman (Dracula) and Winnona Ryder! I strongly recommend this film to anyone who is interested in vampires or more specifically Dracula! Thumbs up all the way!!

the sexy and divine mr oldham excells himself, totally believable as count dracula he steals all the limelight!puts keanu's performance in the shade and his acting is as wooden as the coffins!pity he wasnt killed off early in the film!buy it watch it you will love it or hate it!

anybody who thinks vampires are sexy just has to watch this. the costumes and music are also a plus. it features annie lennox love song for a vampire

brilliant film very entertaning bought for private collection of my favourite films the price was very cheap the dvd was brand new and delivered on time from the seller.

‘Bram Stokers Dracula’ is the probably the most amazing love story I have ever seen. It begins in 1947 when Prince Vlad (Gary Oldman) has to unwillingly leave his Princess Elizabeta (Winona Ryder) to go and fight for Christianity. In a state of confusion Elizabeta thinks Vlad has been killed and she commits suicide. He enrages against the religion and takes on an immortal vow to renounce Christianity. Hence, Count Dracula is created. Elizabeta is reincarnated in the 15th Century as Mina, fiancée of Jonathan Harker (Keanu Reeves) and the film although typically a horror has this love triangle beneath it. It is directed by Francis Ford Coppola. If you haven’t seen it, you should, and when you watch it consider the love story behind it.

Very romantic and seductive, it pulls you right in to the darkness and the power of Dracula as only that film can, Gary Oldman is brilliant playing the main part.

thanks for sending it

Normally, I don't like novel adaptated into films. But this film seems to be an exception to that. It's wonderfully adapted and there is a fabulous crew line up aswell. Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves star in this dark, mysterious, Gothic romance novel. At least, I think it is a romance novel...just with some gruesome biting involved!! I would honestly recommend this to anyone thinking of buying this. It's a uperb film and I am currently enjoying the ownership of it!

this film is one of the best dracula films ever made it is not on for long and it is set in the 1900 i dont think modem dracula films are right it is a horror film but also a stong love story it brought tears to my eyes it is the ultimate love story it is based on the novel by bram stroker

THIS I DO HAVE ON VHS AND JUST WANTED TO UPDATE MY COLLECTION OF FILMS. THIS IS THE REASON WHY I BOUGHT IT AND OF COURSE I DO LIKE THE FILM.

it is alway been a favourite story iv mine, had it on video but wanted it on dvd. its just a brill film ;-)

I was very happy with the quality of this product,I had no problems with buying this product delivery was prompt,it was an excellent service many thanks.

Despite the apparant bad acting that was present in this film - I never payed any attention to this as I was captivated at the very beginning by the lavish backgrounds and elaborate scope of the film - besides Gary Oldman is brilliant as Dracula! And you can't go wrong having Antony Hopkins either!
This film is very sexual at times! Something I think may have been uneccessary, but it does add somehing to it!
Buy this if you are into anything gory and sexy but with a deep story to go with it - very dark and gothic - love it!

This film is pure class as a film with a great narrative,horror,love,drama,what more could you want from the film.the film maker has capture a great feel to the film with its lighting of scenes,this is one film i can watch over and over again.
